Filter by:ADHD is often associated with sleep difficulties. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common problem presented to children mental health services. The disorder affects approximately 5 % of school-age children. The core symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of inattention, impulsiveness and restlessness. In addition to the core symptoms, ADHD is associated with other problems (e.g. academic underachievement, poor social relations and sleep disturbances). Despite clinical observations of sleep problems in children with ADHD, there is little empirical research on this topic. The prevalence, type of sleep problems, and significance of these sleep disturbances in children with ADHD remain undocumented. The objective is to determine the relationship of sleep problems to attention deficit/hyperactive disorder, comorbid disorders, and the effect of stimulant treatment.
To look at the cognitive effects of abilify in children with a primary diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. To examine the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of abilify in children with a primary diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Studies have shown that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at greater risk for having a substance use disorder compared to people who do not have ADHD. Rates of cocaine abuse in adults with ADHD are significantly higher than they are in adults who do not have ADHD. Some clinicians suggest that adults with ADHD may abuse cocaine in order to self-medicate their ADHD symptoms. Atomoxetine is a drug that has been effective in treating ADHD. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of atomoxetine in reducing cocaine use in people with ADHD who abuse cocaine.
Adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often develop substance use disorders (SUD). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of atomoxetine in treating adolescents dually diagnosed with ADHD and SUD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in neuropsychological status from baseline to 6 months post-initiation of atomoxetine treatment in children ages 6 to 10.5 diagnosed with ADHD.
Primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with modafinil film-coated tablet.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how safe and how well SPD465 works compared to placebo in adults with ADHD. It is hypothesized that SPD465 will achieve an extended duration of clinical benefit.
The study is a phase IIIb multicentre, randomised, placebo controlled, trial in paediatric patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of atomoxetine in improving ADHD and ODD symptoms in patients non responders to a previous psychological intervention with parent support. Moreover, the potential role of atomoxetine in treating other psychiatric comorbid conditions associated with ADHD and ODD will be assessed.
Double blinded clinical trial placebo controlled in 153 children (planned enrollment) with recent diagnosis of ADHD. Patients will be randomized to atomoxetine or placebo arm (2:1). The double blinded period will last 12 weeks and the treatment open phase will last up to 1 year, and atomoxetine treatment will be administered. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives.
To test the hypothesis that a 4 week treatment with atomoxetine is more effective than placebo in patients with combined type Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), patients with only Reading Disorder, and patients with combined type ADHD and Reading Disorder.
